GDS, 19-22 September
"Something for every foot" is the unofficial theme of the 94th GDS, 19-22 September across Halls 3 to 14 of the Düsseldorf Trade Fair Center. Some 1,650 exhibitors will showcase their spring/summer 2003 collections over the four days (9.00 am to 6.00 pm), covering 85,000 square metres of net space.
Current registration figures show once again that the international shoe industry considers this the No.1 fair, even in economically difficult times, and reflects the entire market — from basic shoes to upmarket labels.
Exclusive first-time exhibitors in the TopStyle segment such as Escada, Vicini and Sandro Magli will appear alongside well-known exhibitors in Hall 6 including Patrick Cox, Robert Clergerie, Charles Jourdan, Emanuel Ungaro, Linea Marche and Pollini. Among the "Young Fashion" newcomers will be Quiksilver, Ever-last, National Geographic, Nautica, Marlboro Classics, Perry Ellis (USA), and 06.is.
